I got an excuse too... I was up in plenty of time, drank my tea and petted my cats and was out the door a little before 5:00. I got outside my fence and closed the gate, and turned on my two rear flashers. One of them was dead, I guess the 3 year old recharchable batteries are about done. Well OK, the other one was working and I always have my generator powered tail light that is steady-on.

Then half way down my hill I noticed I had forgotten to put on my reflective harness... it was too late to go get it and still catch my bus, so I drove and will go running after work. I should be plenty rested for a long ride up the logging roads on Saturday anyway.
